What Your First Date Drink Says About You...

You can tell a lot about someone by what they order on a first date. Are they a mysterious Negroni sipper with a past? A vodka soda minimalist who’s not here to play games? Or—God forbid—did they order a Long Island Iced Tea (a walking red flag in a glass)?

You see, your drink order isn’t merely a beverage—it’s a full-on dating personality type. And if you think I’m wrong, grab a glass of wine, read on and tell me you don’t feel personally attacked…


🍸 Espresso Martini = “I’m the Main Character”

You walked into this date knowing you’d be unforgettable. You love the thrill of romance, and you need chemistry. You have your best angles memorized, and if your date isn’t matching your energy, you’re already planning your exit strategy. You text in all lowercase but will absolutely start a fight over a misplaced period.

✅ Will steal bites of your food.
✅ Gives phenomenal dating advice but never takes their own.
✅ “No, it’s fine” never means it’s fine.


🥂 Champagne = “The High-Value Dater”

You don’t chase. You attract. You’re here to be courted, not to beg for effort. If they didn’t make a reservation, you’re already unimpressed. You have an effortlessly cool aura, a Pinterest-level wardrobe, and a dating roster that makes people nervous.

✅ Will disappear mid-text conversation and reappear three days later like nothing happened.
✅ “Sorry, I was in Europe.”
✅ Probably listens to jazz or Lana Del Rey.


🍸 Vodka Soda = “The Minimalist”

You’re not here for the fluff—you keep things simple, straightforward, and efficient. You’re hot but don’t make a big deal out of it. You have high standards but don’t waste time explaining them. You ghost without guilt, but when you fall, you fall hard.

✅ “Are you seeing other people?” — Yes, but only for the plot.
✅ Only dates people who match their effort.
✅ Somehow gets hit on even when they’re trying to be left alone.


🍷 Red Wine = “The Old Soul”

You believe in deep conversations, slow-burn romance, and eye contact that lasts a little too long. You’re here for the connection. You read between the lines, notice the small details, and probably have a well-worn copy of The Four Agreements somewhere in your apartment.

✅ Looks like a heartbreaker, but is actually a softie.
✅ Will psychoanalyze your attachment style immediately.
✅ Thinks texting back too fast ruins the mystery


🍺 Beer = “The Laid-Back Lover”

You keep things casual—but not too casual. You’re effortlessly fun and don’t believe dating should be complicated. You hate drama, love a good adventure, and think overthinking is a waste of time.

✅ Prefers a spontaneous night out over a meticulously planned date.
✅ Will 100% make fun of you, but in a way that makes you like them more.
✅ Probably good at sports, or at least knows how to fake it.


🍹 Spicy Margarita = “The Walking Green Flag”

You’re effortlessly attractive, socially magnetic, and a little dangerous in the best way. You know exactly what you want, and it’s not a situationship. You like a little chaos—but only the fun kind. You have a go-to playlist for every mood, and your biggest red flag is being too emotionally intelligent.

✅ Will flirt, but also call you out on your BS.
✅ Is deep, but doesn’t overshare.
✅ Won’t text back immediately… and somehow, that makes you want them more.


🍹 Long Island Iced Tea = “The Walking Red Flag”

Run. That’s it. Just run.

✅ Will cause chaos and somehow make it your fault.
✅ Has an ex they still text.
✅ “Not looking for anything serious” but gets jealous if you talk to someone else.


🧉 Mocktail = “The Self-Aware One”

You have your life together and don’t tolerate nonsense. You’re dating with intention, and if the vibes are off, you’ll politely wrap up the date and never respond again. You’re emotionally intelligent, slightly intimidating, and radiate “I don’t settle” energy.

✅ Has strong boundaries and zero patience for games.
✅ Prefers a deep connection over surface-level attraction.
✅ Might have a secret wild side—but only for the right person.


Whether you’re a champagne sipper looking for a power couple dynamic, a beer drinker who keeps things chill, or a vodka soda connoisseur who has no time for BS, one thing’s for sure: The way you date is just as telling as what’s in your glass.
